Roundup: Concord-Carlisle girls hoops defeats Boston Latin

Thursday

The Concord-Carlisle girls basketball team broke into the win column with a 49-42 victory over Boston Latin Thursday, Dec. 21.

According to C-C coach Kimberly Magee, this could be the Patriots’ first victory inside the Dual County League since February of 2015, when they defeated Wayland.

“If our records are correct,” she said.

The Patriots held a two-point lead at halftime and opened up a 10-point lead by the end of the third quarter. The lead expanded to 16 at one point. The Wolfpack closed the gap to six, but C-C closed out the game by making its free throws down the stretch to secure the victory.

Aidan Ishii qualified for the state championship meet in the 50-yard freestyle in 22.97 seconds.

Hailey Beyer won the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly, qualifying for the North sectional meet in both events.

Bella Eckler won the 100 breaststroke in 1 minute, 12 seconds, a time that qualified her for the state meet.
